Niall's POV:

When I got home, I carefully closed the door behind me. I tiptoed up to my room and changed out of my day clothes and in to my pajama pants. I really had fun today, just hanging out with Natalie. I really missed her when she left. When she moved, we were both 14.

Before bed, every night, I log into Twitter and Tumblr and any other social network I have. First up:Tumblr. There really was never anything on Tumblr. I only got an account because all the other boys had one. And to interact with fans.

On to Twitter. I had 10 new followers. And one of them was Natalie. I clicked on her and looked at her profile. She had about 60 followers. That was good. Then I clicked on her DMs. There was a lot of them. But they aren't from any of her friends, it looked like. It was hate mail. Oh No!! This is really bad. If someone in the band has a new girlfriend, they usually get hate. That means the paps were with us. SHIT!! And there were pictures of us somewhere.

I logged out and went on google. I searched "Niall Horan." And of course, the first thing that comes up is:

HAS ONE DIRECTION'S NIALL HORAN FINALLY FOUND HIS PRINCESS? THE PICS BELOW HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS!

This was really bad. What if management saw this? I would be dead. Since me and Natalie were going through this together, I called her.

"Hello?" She said, sounding tired.

"Natalie, This is Niall. Did you go on Twitter?" I asked.

"Yeah, I got threats in my DMs" She said,sounding as if she was going to cry.

"I know, I saw. When I googled my name the picture of us hugging came up" I said.

"I know. That means paparazzi was following us around" She replied.

"Yeah, now people are going to think that we're dating" I responded.

"Niall...People are telling me to die in a ditch and that I'm ugly" She said starting to cry.

"Natalie, its okay. You shouldn't believe what their saying. Its all lies. I think your beautiful" I said, trying to make her feel better.

"Thanks, but I'm not sure if I can take it" She said honestly.

"Neither can any new girlfriends the lads get either. But they make it through. And besides their just jealous" I say.

"Jealous I get to hang around you" She says.

"Natalie, its getting late. You should get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" I asked.

"Yeah" She replied.

"Night" I said.

"Night" She responded and hung up.

*THE NEXT MORNING*

I woke up around 9:00. I would have slept longer, but I kept thinking about Natalie. I knew I would have to say something. So, taking the matter into my own hands, I logged into Twitter. I clicked on "New Tweet" and started typing. I ended up with this:

FOR ALL OF YOU SENDING @NATALIE_HANSEN HATE/THREAT MESSAGES, JUST THINK ABOUT HOW SHE FEELS. THINK ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD FEEL IN HER POSITION. THINK BEFORE YOU TWEET.

I wasn't trying to sound like a jerk, I just want them to know how she feels. And that, you should think before you say things. I just wish they could have heard her crying last night. I almost started crying for her. She was trying to be brave and not to cry. She didn't have to be brave. I felt sorry for all the girls that sent her hate last night, for being jealous of her.
